Publisher Description
Amy Caruso left the world the incredible gift of her journals that she kept since middle school. She wrote powerfully about whether to begin using substances, her initiation, and the progression of her substance use disorder in the context of school, family, friends, boys, body image, and self-esteem. Amy's mom edited the journals into It's Not Gunna Be an Addiction so readers can reflect on Amy's own words about her choices and six-year struggle with her disease.

A Must Read If You Want To Better Understand the Drug Epidemic
This collection of diaries of a young life cut short by drugs is a powerful message that this epidemic is at all of our doorsteps.
After reading Amy's diaries it is clear we need to come together and drag the dark beast of addiction out from the shadows where it lurks and into the light where we can clearly see it and begin to systematically destroy it.
The publishing of these remarkable diaries are lessons in courage and strength by both the young woman who wrote them and her mother who published them.
